I bought a newer iPhone. My older one had the button to go to the home screen, the newer one replaced that with swipe up.
After a year, the swipe up is still a nuisance. It often doesn't work, and I have to swipe up several times.
- ErneX 7mo agoYou are probably not swiping up from down enough.
- sholladay 7mo agoDo you use a case? My guess would be that when you swipe up, you're not quite starting low enough, perhaps unconsciously, because of the case being in the way. See if a case with a thinner front or smaller bezels helps. Using your index finger also works better than the thumb. If that doesn't help, there are some settings you can try: 1. Go to Settings > Accessibility > Touch > AssistiveTouch and turn on AssistiveTouch. Under Custom Actions, set Single-Tap to Home. Now you have a home button. You can move this button anywhere on your screen and adjust its "Idle Opacity" so it's less distracting when not in use. 2. Go to Settings > Accessibility > Touch > Back Tap and choose Double Tap or Triple Tap. Select Home from the list of actions. Now you can tap on the back side of your phone to go home. There's also Settings > Accessibility > Touch > Touch Accommodations, but that's more about preventing accidental touches and swipes, so that would probably make the situation worse for you.
- WalterBright 7mo agoI had no idea. Thanks for the tips!
- locao 7mo agoIt took me forever to upgrade because I was afraid the same thing would happen to me. Luckily it didn't, but I can imagine the frustration.
